PORTLAND, Ore. – Police across Oregon are looking for a man who women say they met online and who stole more than just their hearts.

The man's real name is Ray Holycross, although the 29-year-old Indiana native also uses the names "Ray Cross" and "Ray Tompson."

For about five months he lived in a Cedar Mill area home with a woman he met online.

"He moved in with me about a month after we started dating," Jenn Clark told KATU News by phone, saying Holycross ripped her off.

Clark's home is now for sale. She says Holycross talked her into selling her home, her car and everything else of real value because the two were supposed to move to Chicago together. Then Clark says Holycross took her laptop, her iPhone and almost a thousand dollars in cash and left town.

"It's completely destroyed my life," she said. "I used to have a home, and I lost everything because of him."

Clark and five other women told KATU News they met Holycross on the same website.
